Built Environment Professions Bill withdrawn

The newly appointed Public Works Minister, Geoff Doidge, announced last week that the controversial Built Environment Professions Bill, has been withdrawn. The Minister cited technical and legal reasons for the withdrawal of the Bill.

For those who have fought against the introduction of this Bill, this is a bitter-sweet victory, as this is only a temporary reprieve.

However, it will offer the opportunity for stakeholders to make further recommendations to the Draft Bill in line with Industry requirements.
